Chapter 108 Face-Slapping Keran, Chui Old Xu
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
Serial number 1, Jiang Fuyue. Written Exam: 100, Machine Test: 100, Total: 200, Rank: 1!
Lin Yuan stared in disbelief and quickly turned her head to look towards the corner of the last two rows.
Her gaze was sharp, heading directly for Jiang Fuyue.
How could it be… a perfect score?
It wasn’t just her; more than one person made the same move. Almost everyone instinctively turned to look behind.
Those amazed or scrutinizing looks fell upon Jiang Fuyue’s face, but she remained unfazed.
Her gaze was steady and indifferent, her expression calm and composed.
It was… as if achieving such a result was the most ordinary thing for her, and she didn’t need to display any joy.
Even the hosts on the stage couldn’t help but glance at her, unable to conceal their satisfaction.
But for Keran, all of this felt like an unending nightmare.
She didn’t look back at Jiang Fuyue, instead, she fixed her eyes on the screen that displayed “200 points” and “Rank 1,” as if she could burn a hole through it.
“No… it’s impossible…”
How could she score a perfect 200?
How could anyone achieve that?
“I remember someone said before that if Jiang Fuyue scored a perfect score, she’d twist her head off and use it as a ball. I wonder if she’s still willing to go through with it?”
“Shh! Don’t mock her. Haven’t you noticed her face turning pale?”
“It was her own words. If you talk so big, you should be prepared to back it up. She’s always so arrogant, but isn’t it embarrassing to lose?”
“Oh, so we’re just supposed to let her bully people without saying anything?”
“Don’t be like this; we’re all classmates…”
“Look at her, acting all high and mighty. Does she even consider us classmates?”
Keran had a difficult personality, a fiery temper, and a sharp tongue. She had offended quite a few people in the class, but no one had seriously confronted her. They could endure her behavior.
However, enduring didn’t mean they could let it go entirely. Resentment built up inside them, and there would always be a breaking point.
Right now, not a single person was stepping up to defend her, including Lin Yuan.
In contrast, the second row in the corner was ecstatic.
Fanye: “Sister Yue, you’re amazing!”
Huang Hui: “Master, please accept my knee.”
Gao Zhaoming: “Do you know that you shattered my pride, and it feels like you delivered bad news to my life, yet you’re still laughing?!”
Jiang Fuyue: “?”
“You don’t know that you’re wasting your talent by not becoming a poet,” Rhymes flowed out one after another.
“Is that so?” Gao Zhaoming stroked his chin, pondering for a while. “…I feel the same way.”
In truth, all three of them performed well, but Jiang Fuyue was simply outstanding.
For example, Fanye, this slender girl with a hint of childishness, no one expected her name to be right after Jiang Fuyue’s, with a total score of 193, ranking second.
Huang Hui and Gao Zhaoming, one ranked fifth and the other sixth.
They were both quite remarkable.
“This is unbelievable! I can accept Jiang Fuyue getting a perfect score and being first, but what’s up with Fanye? She comes from such a remote and impoverished place, and they don’t even have a school, right?”
Let alone nurturing competitive students?
“Who knows? We’ve never been to Duofu either.”
After the results were announced, the next step was the list of students selected for the summer camp.
A total of fifteen students, and Jiang Fuyue’s group of four were unsurprisingly on the list. Lin Yuan and another student from No. 7 High School also made it.
Zhang Han was satisfied. At least he had brought two summer camp participants.
But what surprised him the most was Jiang Fuyue.
Wasn’t Xu Jing on the phone telling him that this child was just coming to have some fun?
And the result of “having fun” was like this?
Then what is ‘not having fun’?
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. After it was all over, he immediately called Xu Jing.
“Old Xu! We’ve been friends for so many years, and you’re still not straightforward!”
Xu Lao, who had just woken up from a nap, was a bit bewildered. “?”
A bit foolish.
“You have the nerve to deceive me like this? You’re hiding a gold mine and won’t let anyone see it. What kind of dirty tricks are these?”
“It’s not… it’s early in the morning, and I didn’t say a word. You came at me like this, what’s the deal? And what ‘gold mine’? You need to explain yourself. You’re leaving me completely confused!”
“Tch tch tch,” Zhang Han teased, “You’re pretending to be ignorant? Is it fun?”
Xu Jing furrowed his brow. “Can we talk properly? What’s going on?”
The other end of the line hesitated for a moment. “…You really don’t know?”
“Should I know?” Xu Jing’s mouth twitched, and he rolled his eyes in exasperation.
“Jiang Fuyue scored full marks in the NOI written test and machine test, with an overall score of 200, ranking first in the nation.”
Xu Jing suddenly sat up in bed. “What did you say?! Say that again?!”
“Come on, Old Xu, that’s enough! How come you’re so good at pretending? Don’t tell me you, as her class teacher, didn’t know she was training for the NOI competition.”
“I knew she was training, but…”
Zhang Han sneered twice.
Xu Jing looked innocent. “I only found out when she decided to participate in the competition for the school’s recommendation quota!”
“…I see you’re not quite fit to be a class teacher. You didn’t even know the basic information about your students.”
“Hey, you know, I really couldn’t help it,” Xu Jing suddenly laughed, sounding relaxed. “After all, that child had just started getting involved in information competitions for the past month. I didn’t have time to learn more about it.”
“What did you say?!” Zhang Han was stunned.
“I said there’s nothing I can do,” Xu Jing pretended to be innocent.
“The next sentence! You said Jiang Fuyue had only been involved in information competitions for the past month?”
“That’s right, at most a month, can’t be more.”
Zhang Han said, “…Do you think I’ll believe that?”
“Believe it or not, it’s up to you. By the way, you should know that No. 1 High School doesn’t offer information competition courses. Jiang Fuyue is completely self-taught. She even fell asleep during the final exam because she stayed up late working on problems, but luckily she still maintained a perfect score, so we didn’t really do much about her.”
With these words, Xu Jing seemed to be very nonchalant.
Self-taught… falling asleep during the exam… maintaining a perfect score…
Three heavy blows, one after the other, struck Zhang Han in the chest, and his whole face turned green.
He was hit by jealousy without any preparation, and he was on the verge of drowning in envy.
Just at that moment, Xu Jing spoke again—
He sighed helplessly. “I never thought she could get a perfect score in the NOI. It’s like she’s under a curse of perfect scores!”
Zhang Han wanted to faint. “What… What do you mean?”
“Last week, the results of the physics competition came out, and she got a perfect score! Oh, she also got a perfect score in the initial round. By the way, in the last monthly exam, she scored full marks in Chinese, Math, English, and Comprehensive Science. Don’t you think it’s… worrying*?”
* Chou – same as the id
“She… participated in a physics competition too?”
“Old Zhang, why does your voice sound shaky? Are you coming down with a cold? I heard the temperature difference in the capital has been quite big lately, so you should be careful.”
Now, Zhang Han was not only trembling in his voice but also in his body—trembling with anger!
Xu Jing said, “Let me tell you, she not only participated in the physics competition, but she’s also going to participate in a math competition in mid-October. Sometimes, I’m also quite distressed. My student is just too versatile, excelling in everything, always scoring full marks and coming in first. It puts a lot of pressure on me.”
“….” Get lost! We’re done being friends!
Zhang Han hung up in frustration, and on the other end, Xu Jing had a lot more to say, but he didn’t expect this person to have such a low threshold for handling the information.
Well, that’s a bit disappointing…
But in the next moment, his expression turned serious.Xu Jing: Call me “Brother Chui*.” I learned it from Yu Wenzhou. Thanks.
* full of hot air
